  • I only work with indie developers!

    Well, good luck with that ... you'll have a lot you can offer up to reduce your Purgatory time with those "developers".

  • I have to add:

    The conscientiousness of Trads regarding "Is my job moral? Should I be dedicating myself to this career?" is precisely WHY there is so little money sloshing around in the world of Tradition.

    We tend to philosophize, have strong principles which we actually APPLY to our daily life, think about our Last End all the time, and yes, some are even scrupulous about it. Or at least "playing it safe" and erring on the side of scrupulosity/safety when picking a career.

    So yeah -- all the sweet gigs, cushy jobs, etc. in government and the military are off-limits for most Trads.

    It's a common fact that one way to really get ahead career-wise is to join a "fraternal organization" like the Freemasons. But what Trads are going to do that?

    Meanwhile, Trads don't believe in birth control or sending their kids off to (free!) Public School. So there's a double-whammy there. Larger families, 100X the schooling expenses, hesitance to send kids (or oneself) to filthy, diabolical college environments, and countless careers crossed off the list, right off the bat. Disqualified for being evil. What Trad is going to work for Monsanto, Blackrock, or Pfeizer? Or Google for that matter?

    Yes, I've long said that Traditional Catholics are at a "tactical disadvantage" due to our abiding by various moral laws, just as Catholics were at a tactical disadvantage to Jєωs during Medieval/Renaissance times, since Catholics didn't practice usury, and so the Jєωs mopped up most of the world's economies and now control the entire financial system.

    I once turned down one rather good job offer from GE (the appliances division) because GE is also one of the world's largest weapons contractors and I didn't want to even materially participate in the murder they were perpetrating all over the world.  They have since sold their appliances division to a Chinese company.

    And the government/society have rigged economic conditions where it's only the DINCs who do well and thrive.  If you're trying to raise a large family on a single income, you struggle.  I remember with Trump's big tax cuts, large families got next to no break, but the DINCs made out like bandits.  Why?  Well, it used to be you could write off your mortgage, but now the default deduction was increased larger than what you could deduct, about $24,000 per year for a married couple.  And the change in how they structed deductions for dependents was also a wash for most of us with many children.  But the DINCs also got their $24,000 tax cut, even if they were just renting an apartment.  I recall how Ivanka (during the campaign) was saying they would try to allow stay-at-home mothers who raise their kids to deduct the same types of expenses that people deduct for "day care", but of course nothing happened.  So, in the end, the DINCs benefitted most from the Trump tax cuts, while families with a single income and many children got next to nothing.

    Why? I only said indie developers because they are not companies in themselves, with their own company structure they are usually 2 or 3 people gathered in a house, I would never work for someone who does progabda or after abortion, controlled paternity or LGBT!

    It was a comment about their skills and/or temperaments (characters) and having to deal with them.  Small companies can be bad enough, but a small group of (often) weirdos who think they know more than they do can be borderline insufferable.  I was saying that you could reduce your Purgatory time by putting up with them.  At the same time, corporations can be just as bad in different ways, except that you could remain relatively aloof and anonymous if you play it right.  I tend to stay under most corporate radars so that when there are various upheavals, I'm usually spared, since I don't have a target on my back.

    Sorry for the question but where do you live in the country, because the developers I worked with are normally normal and even nice people!:confused::confused:
